I see. For some reason I always thought DF was female. :huh:

Actor bashing is okay here. In fact you can say pretty much anything as long as you're agreeing with 'the majority'. If you're disagreeing with 'the majority' they'll call you a troll and accuse you of agenda pushing. :)

I don't get all the Tylo bashing either. I'm going to be a troll and say I think she's better than Lang.

It was very nice to see Stephanie share some scenes with "Caroline" again. I didn't care for Karen the first time around, but these scenes reminded me of classic B&B. This show could use a sophisticated lady (yes, Karen :) ) who hasn't been involved with every single guy on the show.

It seems like Brad Bell loves the ChildrenWantTheirParentsBack storyline. Whether it is Ridge, Thorne and Felicia or Thomas and Steffy. BTW Thomas and Steffy acted like little kids in their scenes with Ridge and Taylor.

Brooke should get out of the house more often. She has started reminding me of the nineties version of Nikki Newman, who NEVER left the ranch. Brooke should be more like Jill Foster Abbott or Alexis Colby by now, not like a teenager in love. She has lost her brains and I am sure that she created BeLieF by mistake :P

It looks like Brad Bell isn't interested in Hunter Tylo at all. He gave the Rick storyline to Steffy, turned her into a Taylor clone and now he brought Karen (as a matter of fact Caroline) to remind to the viewers who Ridge's true love always has been.

Bravo. I agree. Except the show did restore flirty sexiness to her that I feel she has brought back to Y&R. So that was one benefit.

Ashley on Y&R is always closer to the edge of nervous breakdown, eh? I do believe, though, at the END of this we'll have a stronger Ashley who is past her girlish dreams (Victor!) and will be ready for her first bona fide mature relationship.

B&B brought Ashley back from the dead literally.

One minute in L.A. she sported make-up, hair and wordrobe absolutely fitting her character unlike the previous years on Y&R. She was extremely flirtatous and full of strength. Hated her involvement with RIck, though, but loves her with Ridge (Ronn Moss was more than decent in that pairing...) and the rivalry with Brooke - as long as it became obvious that Brad would soon turn the tables and reunite Bridge for absouteky no reason.

Okay, so it is entertaining enough to see Stephanie, cat-that-ate-canary, bait Brooke as she sees her chance.

But good lord....TRULY....the exact same story for 22 years!!!

When do they stop going to the well? If Taylor were truly Stephanie's successor as "moral center" (is Steph forgetting what a basket case she's been these last years??), she'd know that Ridge FEELS committed to Brooke, Taylor still shouldn't go after him.

Taylor is no better than Brooke.

And Stephanie, trying to remove the Logans, kind of puts the lie to her assertion to Eric earlier in the week, that she wants nothing more from him. That is irreconcilable with her desire to remain the "matriarch".

This show :angry::wacko:

Of course not.

I'm just happy, quite frankly, that Don gets a soft landing.

And I think his toro-vs-toro scenes with Ridge will be a riot.

Clearly, as they are positioning Ridge and Brooke apart, no matter what they say ("...paired with

..."), Bill Jr. and Ridge and Brooke and Taylor are gonna mix it up. And the one set of scenes I'm gonna like is Don and Ridge snarling at each other. It's kinda like wrestling :).

There was a spumor that Bill Jr. would be

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.
    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
